Lucent Reorganizes

Lucent Technologies restructures in the hopes of brightening its future.

MURRAY HILL, N.J. Lucent Technologies is reorganizing its internal operations into two main product divisions in the hopes of brightening its future. The Network Solutions unit will cover optical, internetworking systems, switching and software divisions, and all wireless businesses will be under the new Mobility Solutions unit.

According to Lucent spokesperson, Bill Price, "The decision to reorganize was made to match our product divisions with the way customers buy."

The reorganization is underway, but whereas the product side of operations is adjusting quickly, Mr. Price said that Lucent is "taking more time with the sales side of operations to ensure a smooth transition."
